There was a dash of warm barbaric col
oring that took the edge off the east wind
yesterday, wherever Her Hawaiian Maj
esty went. At her approach it was like
the sun breaking through the clouds, or
bit of the Fourth of July arriving out of
season. L caught glimpse of her as she
stepped out of her carriage on Milk street
yesterday forenoon, not far from the
Post" building, and it was a brief vision
of the tropics. There was a fash of Ma
zarin blue, or brilliant orange and OF glow
ing copper that made up a combination of
color whose effect was simply marvellous
1t brought with it suggestions of orange
groves and coffee plantations and coral
reefs, with macaws and humming birds
and seemed actually to impart warmth
to the atmosphere. L am inclined to the
belief that if those of the Queens sex here
in Boston who are prone to grunIbling at
the gray skies and east winds of our
springtime were to adopt something
of the Hawaiian coloring in dress, as
displayed by Her Majesty 1t would be
found to go far towards mitigating the as
perity of the season. No one could look at
Queen Kapiolani yesterday and shiyer.
And as far as l had opportunity to OBJ

That human life is made mp of startling
contrasts is probably now here So often felt
as at the Capitol of a great nation. onthc
last day of the old year. amid great pomp
and display of official mourning, all that
was mortal of one OF the most prominent
men in American public life. was laid away
in the tomb. The following day was the
most brilliant one of the Washington so

began it : round of festivities.

Army of the Republic. sIembers and ex-

No great political measures have been
consummated during 1886 except that
which deals with the Indian question, but
others have been inaugurated and it yet
remains to be seen what shall become of a
protective tariff, currency agitation, the

the region of practical politics have been
comparatively barren, movements are on
